I can assure you, public service is a stimulating, proud and lively enterprise. It is not just a way of life, it is a way to live fully.

Service
Service is rendering assistance,
To persons nigh and in a distance.
Service should be in consistence,
And ever in abiding persistence
For peoples vital subsistence,
And for our peaceful co-existence.
Service constitutes us to be dynamic,
It cleanses the mind, and we are not sick.
Service entails ego annihilation,
And our materialism is in destruction.
Service makes us to give others a benefit,
It brings society to a frame-work knit.
Service allows us to do to others a favour,
Which adds to our life full of flavour.
.
Service endows us with a virtuous life,
And it empowers us to live a larger life.
Service chisels us to beautifully refine,
And it tunes us to be in a haven divine.

I made my mistakes, but in all my years of public life, I have never profited from public service. I've earned every cent. And in all of my years in public life I have never obstructed justice. And I think, too, that I can say that in my years of public life that I welcome this kind of examination because people have got to know whether or not their President is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook. I've earned everything I've got.

My Simple Award
I was informed just lately
That I am among those to be called
Who will be rewarded a service pin?
For having served for twenty five years
An accolade for doing public service
Is quite an honor for being recognized
But like five years ago when I did not
Come up to the stage to receive such
For me it is not important
To receive with any award
For what I do is simply my job
To perform what I was trained for
It makes me sad to learn now
After twenty five years of working
I will be called in front of the public
To accept the fact that soon I have to go
Retirement is a bonus phase in life
Forced to give up work for becoming old
Aging marks that sooner one's life will end
My youth used up for service is my sole bliss

Humanitarian missions are little different from any other public enterprise, diplomacy included, which is susceptible of misinterpretation by the public, hence ultimately of failure.

One of the best lessons I learned early is that not everything in life is about you. It is about service. If you want trips and excessive gifts, then don't get into public service.

Public Animal #9
Me and G.B.
We ain't never gonna confess
We cheated at the math test
We carved some dirty words in our desk
Well now it's time for recess
Old man waitin by the monkey bars
Tradin all his ball cards
And they promised him a gold star
And they told him he could go far
Hey Mr. Bluelegs
Where are you takin me?
I'm like a lifer
In the state penitentiary
If I keep my nose clean
I won't get my eyes shined
But I'm proud to be
Public Animal Number Nine
License plates are runnin
Out of my ears
I'd give a month of cigarettes
For just a couple of lousy beers
Or even a bottle of
Real cheap wi-hine
But that's the price you pay to be
Public Animal Number Nine, Number Nine
Hey Mrs. Cranston
Where are you takin me?
I feel like a lifer
In the state penitentiary
She wanted an Einstein
But she got a Frankenstein
Yeah, I'm proud to be
Public Animal Number Niiiirrrrrgh
Public Animal Number Nine
Public Animal Number Nine
Public Animal Number Nine Nine
Public Animal Number Nine Number Nine
Number Nine Number Nine
Number, Number Nine Animal Number Nine
Public Animal Number Nine Nine
Public Animal Numbergh Niiiirrrrrgh
Public Animal Nurrrgh Nirrrgh

Public Animal Number Ni-yine

Public Animal Number Number Nine Nine

Fully Alive...
how did you
live fully? did you
not know
that you have
to die first before
you can live
that full?
and how did you
die first?
did you know that
all these are
but idioms?
it is death
without being seen
with any blood
or strangulation
you appear
there in that
garden without
any wound
and yet you have
died
as you claim it
to be
internally
did you know that
all these
are but a harem of
metaphors?
you do have to
live fully after all
neither shall you
die because
you cannot and you
are not death
neither are you
life.
all these are
figures of speech.
there is a path
that you know
but you do not
speak about it.
you just walk on it
and do what you
tell yourself within.
automatically.

Power of the King
Death be not proud
for you have no hold over my life,
Death be not proud
for I cannot die! !
Death be not proud
you instill no fear
Death be not proud
for my King lay down His life for me
Death be not proud
you have no power
you destroy just flesh and bone
you dont have the power to resurrect
Death be not proud
you own me not
for I have been bought
Death be not proud
for my soul shall live on,
In HIS Kingdom is where I belong! !

I Will
Distrust hurts a lot
A battle is lost without being fought
You have misapprehension all around
Not suitable way is searched and found
Trust is most important aspect
We all must think sincerely and respect
It is secret door to introspect
Then find opportune time to act
It may prove sometimes blessings in disguise
You are in position to deliver good with promise
New sun is on horizon and shining
All days a re bright and well defining
Self assertion is most unique feature
Person should be aware of it and very sure
That can take you to the extreme end and assure
Nothing can go wrong and all sides fully secured
You did ask about joint efforts
I too fell for the ideas for good rapport
Who may not want ship to anchor at port?
Shunt the negative thoughts from mind and deport
As good combination in life and enterprise
We have lot more to gain and less to miss
We can show that success can wait at the gate
Nothing can be termed as early or late

If you awaited it then you could have told face to face
Insulted me in gathering and thrown out of the race
In this way you could take revenge and settle he score
Had this not been the case, I should have been buried live to speak no more
???? ???? ?? ?? ??? ?? ???? ???? ????
??? ?????? ?? ??? ???? ???? ????
?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ??? ?????? ?? ?? ??

Nobody could have done like this as you did
Greet with hands then change the eye lid
I was the only one person lost to you
Considered you mine but proved to be untrue
??? ?????? ???? ?? ??? ???? ?? ?? ?? ????? ? ???
?? ?? ???? ????? ?????????? ?? ????? ?? ???????? ???
??? ?? ?? ?? ?? '????? ?? ?? ?? ????? ?????? ?? '

You might have some compulsions but now at least come in open for while
Tell in presence of everyone with lively words and smile
Open up and smilingly reveal 'love has its own style'
Everybody here has surrended to the beauty meanwhile

Whoever defaults may have repercussions
Disobedience may be dealt with sternly without any discussion
Will feel hell during his life time
Will repent through out ht his life period for times to come

We know fully well about love birds
Who try hard to make it lively with sweet words?
But they forget that life is full of thorns
It is not only impossible to reach near the goal but to scorn

We too are human and take your words as granted

Leave all the decisions to the wishes of almighty

My dear mother
My Dear Mother
I do bother
For your selfless service
With all fulfilled promises
I only think
And again sink
What a way to live?
For dreams to relive
You could spend
Time easily and end
Your life with full pleasure
But you made us fully secured
You told us about lies
About your effort and tries
You worked for us day and night
So we grew effortless and felt right
It was not you
But divine spirit seen through
It was not open for anybody's view
But we all owed and it is very much due
We have neither right to lament
Nor to feel bad to resent
You did what you felt so desirable
To make us worth and capable
You must be placed among stars
But still remain with us as part
Precious jewel is always to be adored
Remembered in memory and stored
Not all the moms may be same
But why do I think so and blame?
I must think not so and feel ashamed
As such feeling should have not at all come
I bow head in respect
Feel proud of your act
You were the only one in world
To offer us warmth and feel self very much cold

Sonnet 111: O, for my sake do you with Fortune chide
O, for my sake do you with Fortune chide,
The guilty goddess of my harmful deeds,
That did not better for my life provide
Than public means which public manners breeds.
Thence comes it that my name receives a brand,
And almost thence my nature is subdued
To what it works in, like the dyer's hand.
Pity me then, and wish I were renewed,
Whilst like a willing patient I will drink
Potions of eisel 'gainst my strong infection;
No bitterness that I will bitter think,
Nor double penance to correct correction.
Pity me then, dear friend, and I assure ye
Even that your pity is enough to cure me.
